University Theatre is pleased to present the Central Valley premiere of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe. The production is directed by Kathleen McKinley and runs through October 6, 2018 in the Dennis & Cheryl Woods Theatre in the Speech Arts building on the campus of Fresno State.
A girl's indoor soccer team. Astroturf. Game day rituals. Warm-ups. Nine high school juniors navigate questions, large and small, as they gear up to win on the field and in life. Honored by The New York Times as one of most important new plays of the last 25 years, The Wolves portrays the "scary and exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence," and the dynamics of power, love, and humor within a team of young female athletes determined to be champions.
The Wolves was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama; the original New York production won an Obie Ensemble Award; it won a special Drama Desk Award for its acting ensemble, and was nominated for Lucille Lortel and Drama League Awards for Best Play, as well as for the Outer Critics’ Circle John Gassner Award for Outstanding New American Play.
The cast includes Sara Marie Adam, Ruby Arreguin, Karina C. Balfour, Alyssa Benitez, Hannah Berry, Teya Juarez, Cassidy LeClair, Nwachukwu Q. Oputa, Madeline Rydberg, & Summer Savonna Session.
October performances begin at 7:30 p.m.
